FAQ
Q: Is the Seiko SUR553P1 suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with a water resistance rating of 10 ATM (100 metres), this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and everyday water exposure. However, it is not recommended for diving or high-impact water sports. Avoid operating the crown whilst underwater.
Q: Does this watch have luminous hands and markers?
A: Yes, the hands are treated with Seiko's Lumibrite coating, which provides excellent visibility in low-light conditions. The Lumibrite compound is charged by exposure to light and glows in darkness without requiring radioactive materials.
Q: How often will I need to replace the battery?
A: Seiko quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life depending on usage. When replacement is needed, we recommend having this performed by our authorised service team to maintain water resistance integrity and warranty validity.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. Our experienced staff at Cassims & Co. provide complimentary bracelet sizing at the time of purchase. The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by removing or adding links to achieve a perfect fit.
Q: What is the advantage of a sapphire crystal?
A: Sapphire crystal is the second-hardest transparent material after diamond, offering exceptional scratch resistance and durability. This ensures your watch maintains its pristine appearance for years, protecting the dial from daily wear and impacts.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: Yes, the SUR553P1's minimalist white dial, refined stainless steel case, and integrated bracelet make it exceptionally versatile. It transitions seamlessly from business meetings to formal events whilst remaining equally appropriate for everyday wear.

A: Yes, every Seiko watch purchased from Cassims & Co. arrives in official Seiko presentation packaging, complete with warranty card, instruction manual, and all documentation required for your international warranty registration.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and daily residue.
- For deeper cleaning of the stainless steel bracelet, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, ensuring the crown is fully screwed down or pushed in to maintain water resistance.
- Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or chemicals, and dry completely with a soft cloth.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including solvents, perfumes, and cosmetics.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised Seiko service centre when needed to ensure water resistance seals are properly maintained.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it, preferably in the original box or a watch case.
- If the watch will not be worn for an extended period, consider having the battery removed to prevent potential leakage damage.
- Have your watch professionally inspected every 2-3 years to verify water resistance integrity and overall condition.
- Never attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the warranty and may compromise water resistance.
- The sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant but can still chip or crack if subjected to severe impact; avoid striking the watch against hard surfaces.
